And it's only early October Albarn he said to Toronto Sun that his return to the screenplays could be until September 2028, which has been questioned about the long waiting times between his albums.

To prostrate, to cuddle and to tire oneself
It was during his performance of "Magic City" that Albarn received from the public a Mexican flag that he not only took with affection, but that he also used as a cloak. to pay tribute to his fans.
And whenever he could, he approached the public to thank the energy transmitted through the Palacio de los Deportes, either with a smile, a kiss, a pointing or a bow, gestures that his fans also shouted.
One of the most moving moments of the evening was when members of De La Soul, who have accompanied the group since Demon Days, have charged Albarn into a big embrace in which he could not hide his feeling.
With the same affection, they shared the hugs with Peven Everett, Jaime Principle, Bottie Brown and Michelle Ndegwa, almost as they yearned for that night where they shared a scene.
Jamie Hewlett also had a brief appearance in which he embraced only the partner with whom he founded, 20 years ago, one of the most revolutionary groups in the history of the music, and he went out in silence for the show to continue.
When the end of the night came, played by "Do not get lost in paradise" and "The days of demons", a final collective hug merged Damon Albarn with his musicians, his choristers, his collaborators and a certain way with all his audience when the "goodbye" was finally said.
And when the lights came on, all the happiness was in the faces of those whose feet tired of dancing and jumping were slowly jumping from places that happily hosted the last concert of Gorillaz.
